Unable to Open Include File

I know this question has been posted numerous times, and I have done several searches relating to it, but I cannot solve this problem.
I'm using PBP 2.6. I have several programs that use DT's interrupts with no problem. I am in the process of setting up another old computer (Windows XP). Programs using DT_INTS-14.BAS, REENTER PBP.BAS, and ALLDIGITAL.PBP Includes run just fine. When I try to use DT-INTS-18.BAS and REENTER PBP-18.BAS, I get the error, only on that computer. My other computer is also Windows XP.

All of the Includes are in PBP root directory ( also put them in PBP Include directory as well - probably not needed.)

I am totally at a loss as to what could be causing this - - any suggestions?

Re: Unable to Open Include File

Have you verified that the file extension is .bas and not .pbp?
As long as the file is in the PBP folder or in the same folder as the source file from which you include the other file(s) it should work.

Thanks Henrik :

Yes, the extension is ,bas. I wonder if it has something to do with the computer - -
I am running two other XP's using the same programs, etc. Both work just fine. Perhaps I will try deleting all the related include files and re-load them. This is not the end of the world for me, just a real PITA, not to mention my desire to find out why.

Re: Unable to Open Include File

Your missing my point. It may be due to the OS that the file can't be opened on that machine, a missing dll file, registry entry for file association, etc...corrupted permission rights (registry again)...

Either try a fresh reinstall of your XP, or update your OS, provided the hardware is supported.

Re: Unable to Open Include File

It's extremely unlikely to be your operating system. The most likely cause is a minor typo in the file name, or path. ( a"," instead of a "." for example can be hard to spot. Other than that, it's pretty bulletproof.

Re: Unable to Open Include File

1. check the full path if it is not in the root directory.

2. check the file name as you have written DT- and DT_. Which is true in your case?

3. OS does not matter for this case. I still use an old PC for things newer ones cannot do, especially matters with Unicode etc. I wish I had even an 98 machine now for an unsolvable problem with old fonts.

Re: Unable to Open Include File

There are PLENTY of cases I wish they hadn't killed XP. Almost daily, in fact. And for those that think we are all going to instantly die if we keep using it, please remember that some of us do more with computers than surf the web. Lots of uses for an older machine off line.
